The actress is known in Hollywood for her insistence on roles, she easily rejects a disliked script, regardless of the size of the proposed fee. What is known about the talented film star, thanks to which tapes she became famous?
Curriculum Vitae
Actress Ashley Judd, born in California in 1968, cannot boast a happy childhood. The girls were only a year old when her parents decided to leave, and the father immediately withdrew from caring for the children. The first years of her life went on traveling, as her mother, Nyomi, did not have a permanent home.
Books were a means by which the future famous actress rested from harsh reality, plunging into the world of fairy-tale heroes. Her family was very poor. Ashley was forced to spend several years with her mother and sister in abandoned houses, dilapidated vans, constantly changing schools, and poorly dressed. The situation changed only when Nyomi achieved the fame of a country singer.
Ashley was indifferent to music, did not want to plunge into the world of show business, which dragged on her mother and sister. She spent a couple of years as a university student, studying French and literature. Then her studies were abandoned, as the girl had a burning desire to join the Peace Corps, which dealt with the problems of Africa. But yielding to the entreaties of her older sister, who had influence on her, she agreed to try herself as an actress.
Ashley Judd: filmography of the star
Having started to conquer Hollywood, the girl gave herself several months, deciding to quit this lesson in the absence of success. The number of actresses who woke up famous after their first role does not include Ashley Judd. Her filmography began with unremarkable film projects that did not remain in the memory of the audience. Acting in episodes, she simultaneously mastered the basics of acting at one of the local schools and earned a living as a waitress.
The first major role went to a novice actress in 1993, when she played in the film "Ruby in Paradise." The tape, which belongs to the category of alternative cinema, has gained popularity in narrow circles, opening the girl the path to success. The heroine Ashley Judd, whose filmography will collect a large number of such roles in the future, is a young woman moving to Florida in dreams of starting a new life.
Interestingly, the footage of the rising star in "Natural Born Killers" has been completely removed. She played the role of the only witness to a bloody orgy, but the scene was overly cruel.
